Helian Yao approached Shen Hanshan for his strategic brilliance.
Shen Hanshan let him get close because he was the boy he’d wanted to protect as a child.
One thought he was using the other. The other thought this was a chance to get close.
It wasn’t until he heard the words, “He was nothing but a pawn,” that Shen Hanshan realized he was the only one who remembered what happened that year.
He left without a word.
In Shen Hanshan’s empty room, Helian Yao found a painting he hadn’t even known existed:
On the grasslands, a little boy was crying, a piece of candy pressed into his hand.
The wrapper read: A Yan, grow up well.
Only then did he understand.
The person he had used was the moon he’d spent half his life searching for.
He had lost him.
